digitalmars.D.learn - __FILE__ and __LINE__ 'forwarding'

It would be really handy if the __LINE__ default parameter value would 
be evaluated at the line containing the call. This way we can mimic 
those C logging macros.

Is there currently any way to do this without writing __LINE__, __FUNC__ 
on every call?

Indeed, this would be nice if possible. For the function name, I think this can be done with Don Clugston's meta library, meta.nameof should do the trick: "Given any D symbol (class, template, function, module name, or non-local variable) or any D type, convert it to a compile-time string literal, optionally containing the fully qualified and decorated name."

This feature would be great to have, especially when throwing Exceptions in
debug mode. Ideally, this should work for __FILE__, __LINE__ and __FUNC__.
